కశ్మీర్ అంశంలో పాక్ దూకుడుపై భారత్ ఆగ్రహం

Published : Aug 8, 2019, 1:49 PM IST

భారతదేశంతో ద్వైపాక్షిక సంబంధాలను కనిష్ఠ స్థాయికి దిగజారుస్తూ దాయాది పాక్ నిర్ణయించడాన్ని భారత విదేశాంగ మంత్రిత్వశాఖ తప్పుబట్టింది. ఇరుదేశాల మధ్య సంబంధాలను భయంకరంగా చిత్రించి ప్రపంచం ముందు ఉంచడానికి పాక్ విఫలయత్నం చేస్తోందని మండిపడింది.

భారత రాజ్యాంగం అప్పుడు, ఇప్పుడు, ఎప్పుడూ దేశ సార్వభౌమాధికార అంశమేనని విదేశాంగశాఖ తేల్చిచెప్పింది. ఆర్టికల్ 370 రద్దు పూర్తిగా భారత అంతర్గత వ్యవహారమని స్పష్టం చేసింది. ఈ విషయంలో అనవసర జోక్యం వద్దని, ఇలాంటి ప్రయత్నాలు ఎన్నటికీ సఫలం కావని దాయాదికి హితవు పలికింది.

భారత్తో ద్వైపాక్షిక సంబంధాలను కనిష్ఠ స్థాయికి తగ్గిస్తూ బుధవారం పాక్ చేసిన ప్రకటనపై విదేశాంగ మంత్రిత్వశాఖ విచారం వ్యక్తం చేసింది. సాధారణ మాధ్యమాల ద్వారా ద్వైపాక్షిక సమాచార మార్పిడి కొనసాగేలా చర్యలు చేపట్టాలని దాయాదికి సూచించింది.

"గతంలో రాజ్యాంగంలో చేర్చిన తాత్కాలిక నిబంధనలు (ఆర్టికల్ 370, ఆర్టికల్ 35 ఎ) జమ్ముకశ్మీర్ అభివృద్ధిని అడ్డుకున్నాయి. భారత ప్రభుత్వం, పార్లమెంటు ఈ నిబంధనలు తొలగించడం ద్వారా జమ్ముకశ్మీర్ అభివృద్ధి అవకాశాలను మరింత విస్తరించే దిశగా నిబద్ధతను చాటుకుంటున్నాయి."

STORYLINE:
Long after clergy sex abuse erupted into scandal in the United States, it remained a secret on the American island of Guam, spanning generations and reaching to the very top of the Catholic hierarchy.
For decades, abusers held the power on Guam, in a culture of impunity led by an archbishop who himself was accused of abuse. Anthony Sablan Apuron was convicted in a secret Vatican trial and suspended in 2016, after which restrictions he supported on the reporting of abuse were eased.
More than 200 former altar boys, students and Boy Scouts are now suing Guam's Catholic archdiocese over sexual assaults by 35 clergy, teachers and scoutmasters, hoping to finally see justice.
The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year, estimating at least $45 million in liabilities, and survivors have until Aug. 15 to file for a financial settlement. Thousands of pages of court documents reviewed by The Associated Press, along with extensive interviews, tell a story of systemic abuse going back to the 1950s and of repeated collusion by predator priests.
Seven men have publicly accused Apuron of sexual assaults they endured as children, including his own nephew. The archbishop, now 73, denies the allegations, but in April the Vatican revealed that Pope Francis had upheld the findings of a secret church trial that he was guilty of sex crimes against children.
Though Apuron has been removed from public ministry and effectively exiled from Guam, he remains a bishop and receives a monthly $1,500 stipend from the church. The Guam archdiocese said it did not know where Apuron was, and his lawyer declined repeated requests for comment.
To this day, no member of the Catholic clergy on Guam has ever been prosecuted for a sex crime, including Apuron. Secret church files that could have helped provide evidence for prosecutions are alleged to have been burned. And unlike dozens of archdioceses on the U.S. mainland, Guam has yet to issue a list of priests whom the church deems credibly accused of sexual assault.
Despite church law that requires bishops and archbishops to maintain records on sex abuse allegations, the new archbishop, Michael Jude Byrnes, said his predecessor left him nothing. He couldn't explain why, but said he had heard rumors of "a big bonfire" outside the chancery before Apuron left.
"It's important for the Church of Guam to confront, in a good way, the evil that we found, and to acknowledge it, and to own it," Byrnes said.
Catholicism is deeply engrained in the culture of Guam's indigenous people, known as Chamorros. Four out of five Guamanians are Catholic. Many streets on this former Spanish colony of 165,000 are named for bishops and priests - including some now accused of sexual abuse.
Wallter Denton, dreamed as a 13-year-old altar boy of becoming a priest, just like Father Tony Apuron. So he felt privileged when in the spring of 1977, Father Tony invited him to spend the night before Sunday mass in the squat concrete block rectory. He says he woke up face down on bed, his legs spread, and the priest on top of him.
"He got up off me. I immediately jumped off the bed. I cried and I screamed, 'Why did you do that to me? I said, 'Why?'" Denton, now 55, recounted.
First, Denton told his mother what happened, but he says she accused him of making it up. Denton then confided in an older altar boy, who said Apuron had abused him too. Together, Denton says they reported the assaults to another priest, but that man did nothing and later turned out to be an abuser himself.
"But that night, Father Tony, told me, he told me that 'if you say anything to anybody, no one will believe you," Denton said.
When Guam's archbishop died in 1985, Apuron was quickly named as his successor. With him in charge, pedophile priests were protected from the top.
In May 2016, a Guam survivor publicly accused Apuron of molesting him. Tired of waiting, Denton informed the church that he too was going public. The day before his scheduled press conference, Pope Francis suspended Apuron.
In a written statement issued in April, after Pope Francis rejected his final appeal, Apuron maintained his innocence but compared the decision to a death sentence.
